there are times when i amuse myself endlessly. today was one of those times. i sent the following email to the support group advising them of a pending server rebuild...



sup1sol9agt1 and sup2sol9agt1 decided during our last power outage that they no longer wish to be members of the support group. when nobody was looking they corrupted the / partition and made a mad dash toward freedom. despite their best efforts to remain independent and off the grid, they will be brainwashed and re-indoctrinated into the support group beginning later this afternoon.

yes, I could fix them, but they needed to be rebuilt and cleaned up anyway. besides, this is probably quicker...

so, if you have anything on these boxes that you critically need (highly doubtful since they've been offline for over a month now...), tough knickers. the happy fun format fest begins at 3:30 pm on sup1sol9agt1. sup2sol9agt1 will be done once I finish punishing the first one.

and remember, friends don’t let friends run windows.

i was driving from the middle of connecticut back to boston late last night. while driving, i had my xm radio on. a few of the songs i heard got me thinking about music and the stuff i tend to listen to on a regular basis. so i started putting together a list mentally of songs that i *always* turn up the volume as loud as i can stand it. so here i present to you, a list of truly awesome songs that i have a tendancy to crank:

descender - black crowes
all along the watchtower - dave matthews
silence - delerium
the sky is crying - george thorogood
dont let me be misunderstood - kill bill soundtrack
teardrop - massive attack
closer - nine inch nails
la mer - nine inch nails
glory box - portishead
soma - smashing pumpkins
st louise is listening - soul coughing
all your love i miss loving - stevie ray vaughan
little wing - stevie ray vaughan
aenima - tool
lateralus - tool
pumpkin - tricky
running to stand still - u2
